News - Yemen: Saudi and Emirati money blinded the United Nations and its special envoy to Yemen, says Ali Al-Qahoum, member of the Political Bureau of Ansarullah.

Qahoum confirmed on Wednesday on hisTwitter account that these funds "blinded the United Nations and its Special Envoy, so that it lost the humanitarian compass in Yemen."

"The reality of the United Nations and its Special Envoy has equated the victim with the executioner, amid clear disdain for the suffering and crimes committed against the Yemeni people, by the US-Saudi aggression for eight years," Qahoum pointed out.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the claim of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.

The United Nations announced that Yemen’s National Salvation Government and the US-Saudi coalition have agreed to renew a two-month truce after days of negotiations.

UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg said that the extension of the truce comes into effect when the current truce period expires, 2 June 2022 at 19:00 Yemen time (1600 GMT)."

The ceasefire agreement was mediated by the UN between the Saudi-led aggression and the National Salvation Government in Sana'a on April 2. The truce was announced after Yemen’s Supreme Political Council declared a voluntary and unilateral three-day pause in retaliatory strikes against targets in Saudi Arabia.

The UN envoy also noted that the truce was extended under the same terms as the previous one.

In line with the agreement, the US-Saudi aggression agreed to end its attacks on the Yemeni soil that it began in March 2015. The coalition also agreed to end a simultaneous siege that it has been enforcing against Yemen.

However, in light of UN silence, the Saudi-led aggression was still obstructing flights to the Sana'a International Airport in Yemen’s capital and detaining fuel ships that were headed to the country. The fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside, including shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl. 

The United Nations continues to condone the crimes committed by the Saudi-led aggression. It only holds the coalition responsible for crimes when it seeks to blackmail the Kingdom and oblige it to pay millions of dollars. The UN is not concerned with the souls of the victims, as it provided cover for this aggression for years, and kept silent in the face of many of its criminal practices, whether through raids or sieges.

In the United Nations dictionaries, the children of Yemen have no value compared to the money the organization receives from the Saudi regime.

Despite the UN finding that the coalition was responsible for the killing and maiming of 222 children in Yemen in 2019, it did not include the Saudi regime in the list of shame for violators of children's rights in the world for this year, which sparked a wave of widespread criticism inside and outside Yemen, accusing the organization of violating its covenants and laws In compliance with Saudi threats.
 
It is not known what progress Saudi Arabia has made in protecting children in Yemen over the past year, to be removed from the list of shame. The UN resolution was issued as the Saudi-led aggression launched an airstrike that struck a vehicle carrying civilians in northern Yemen on Monday, killing 13 people, including four children.
